In an effort to supply its customers with increasingly high quality, globally reliable products, Recanati has directed its research and testing activity towards innovative coating for the metal parts of fittings and manifolds.
The fluid bed plastic-coating process was the company’s final choice. All the metal parts (fixing rings, connecting branches), with the exception of brass parts, are now protected by corrosion-proof coating with PPA571 thermoplastic powder, produced and supplied to us by Plascoat Systems Ltd.
This plastic coating creates an anti-osmotic barrier, able to offer 200 year-long resistance to corrosion and abrasion with good dielectric insulation properties. The PPA571 coating showed excellent behaviour to ageing simulation tests, while maintaining product characteristics.
The plastic-coating process is perfectly in line with Recanati’s goal of implementing a HOMOGENEOUS plastic/metal system forming the basis of its production process (check the

In an effort to be constantly up-to-date with the latest coating technologies, Recanati’s owners have not only equipped their factory with a modern fluid-bed system but also with the Portable
